Warning
Figure 5-8. Starting Ventilation
Do not allow a patient to remain connected to the ventilator when ventilation is stopped,
because a substantial quantity of expiratory gas, primarily carbon dioxide, may be inhaled by
the patient. In some circumstances, inhaling carbon dioxide may lead to under-ventilation,
suffocation, and serious injury or death.
You can stop your ventilator at any time.
To stop the ventilator:
1. Press and hold the VENTILATION ON/OFF key (Figure 5-8, item 1) for three (3) seconds.

window, as shown in the graphic below:
